Tapeeze is a Swedish fintech company that enables banks, crypto companies, fintechs and lifestyle brands to launch premium tokenized physical payment cards. Tapeeze cards use the same tokenization standard as Apple Pay and Google Pay, meaning no card number, no CVV and no cardholder name is printed on the card. All credentials are stored as a secure digital token, provisioned via Fidesmo Pay and accepted everywhere Mastercard and Visa are supported. Tapeeze handles the full card infrastructure, from design and tokenization to global distribution and user activation, allowing any company to launch a physical card product fast, without a banking license or new card program.

How does a Tapeeze card work?

Tapeeze cards are pre-configured globally and activated by the end user through tokenization. The user downloads the Tapeeze app, holds the physical card against their phone using NFC, and links their existing bank card. The card receives a secure payment token via Fidesmo Pay and is ready to use at any contactless payment terminal worldwide. No new bank account is required. Activation takes approximately 60 seconds.

How long does it take to launch a Tapeeze card?

Fast. Tapeeze handles card infrastructure, tokenization and global distribution. No card personalization at the factory is required, and no banking license is needed.

Which banks are supported?

Tapeeze works with existing bank cards via Fidesmo Pay, which is connected to over 880 banks worldwide supporting Mastercard and Visa. No new card program or BIN sponsorship is required.

What materials are available for Tapeeze cards?

Tapeeze cards are available in metal, ceramic, wood, LED-edge and R-PVC. Full creative freedom on design, colors and finish.

Tapeeze premium cards on show at Singapore FinTech Festival 2026

Stablecoin-backed cards are going global. At SFF 2026, StraitsX and Tapeeze show what the card in the user’s hand can look like.

Singapore / Stockholm, 12 November 2026 – Tapeeze, the Swedish company behind premium tokenized payment cards, will have its cards on display at the StraitsX booth at Singapore FinTech Festival, 18–20 November at Singapore EXPO.

StraitsX, a Major Payment Institution licensed in Singapore, recently expanded its partnership with Visa to support stablecoin-backed card programs in more than 100 markets. As those programs reach more people, the physical card becomes part of how a brand is experienced every day.

Tapeeze lets card issuers offer premium cards in materials such as metal, ceramic, PVC and LED on their existing BIN, without factory personalisation. The design is printed exactly the way the brand wants, and the card is tokenized and activated by the cardholder.

“Payments are going global, and the card experience has to keep up. Together with StraitsX we can give stablecoin card programs a card that feels as premium as the technology behind it.”
Håkan Nordfjell, CEO, Tapeeze

Visitors can see and feel the cards at the StraitsX booth 3K07, Hall 3, throughout the festival.
